Hamilton Academy - a Hamliza fanfic {DISCONTINUED}

Chapter 3

Thomas's POV:
"James, I can already tell this kid is a little smart-a**, and that's the last thing I need. Honestly, I feel like when I eventually run for class president, that kid will get in my way!" Thomas ranted about Alex to his best friend James Madison as they sat on his bed. Thomas was almost as popular as the Schuyler sisters, and he was determined to win Class President, even if it took everything he got. He has just come back from a summer vacation spent in France, and was not excited to be back.

"I completely agree. He literally punched the guidance counselor. That's not a great way to make friends at a new school." Said James, flipping through a sports magazine.

"What do you think we should be for the party? Maybe race-car drivers?" Thomas asked.

"Mhmm. Maybe baseball players?" James replied.

"Yes, that's perfect. All the girls will be mooning over us." Thomas said, jumping off of his bed. He went over to his dresser, and pulled out two baseball jerseys. He chucked one at James, who jumped about a foot in the air when it hit him in the head.

"Dang, that scared me! I have two baseball mitts in my basement, and a pair of cleats!" James said.

"I have cleats, too. And baseball pants. Okay, I think we're good. I wonder what the Sisters will be wearing. All are so pretty!" Thomas said, pulling the jersey over his t-shirt. "Tonight is gonna be great!"

Alex's POV:
After being yelled at for a solid hour by his foster parents, Alex was on his way to Party City to buy a costume for the party. He was thinking of being a pirate. As the car pulled into the parking spot, Alex unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. As he and his foster mom roamed the aisles, he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Alex?"

Alex turned around and saw John. "Hey!" He said. What are you going to be?" Alex said, running over to John and his dad.

"I don't know!" John said, as his dad went over to talk to Alex's foster mom. "Maybe a pirate?"

"That's what I was thinking! Let's be pirates together!" Said Alex.

"Yeah! Lemme text Lafayette and Herc to see if they wanna do it too!" Said John.

"Okay!" Exclaimed Alex. And with that, the two spent the next hour texting back and forth with Lafayette and Herc, planning their costume and talking about Angelica, Eliza and Peggy. Turns out John kinda likes Peggy, while every other boy in the class was crazy about Angie. But Alex kinds liked Eliza. She was trusting and kind, very humble and sweet, and very pretty, too. He hoped she would be there tonight, so they could talk and bond. Alex could hardly wait.
